We review a lot of TVs here at CNET, but the list below represents only the best.
CNET Top 5
Although its picture quality falls short of the competition, the Samsung UNF6300's high-end features and design for a midrange price will win plenty of converts.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
Despite solid hardware, great battery life, and fast startup, we can't recommend the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 until and unless Google improves the Chrome OS.
The 4-pound Samsung Series 5 isn't as light and portable as some slim 14-inch laptops, but this AMD-powered version can be found at a significant discount if you shop around.
This midprice slim laptop gets a new body, plus a touch screen and backlit keyboard.
The UNH7150 series, the highest-end Samsung LED with neither 4K resolution nor a curved screen announced at CES, adds a new split-screen function to its suite of Smart TV extras but lacks the step-up models' superior local dimming.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
If you're looking for a blender that can multitask and do more than just make smoothies, but don't want to shell out a lot of money, the KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Blender is a great option.
Despite solid hardware and a slightly improved Chrome OS, the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 550 comes with far too many caveats and compromises compared with similarly priced but more-capable tablets and laptops.
Despite excellent all-around picture quality, the Samsung UNF9000 4K TV offers almost no improvement over cheaper 1080p TVs that cost much less.

Combined Kidney-Pancreas Transplant Improves Survival in Type 1 DiabetesPosted: Thursday, June 05, 2008
For patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease (ESRD), simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation increases the chances of long-term survival compared to kidney transplantation alone.
"Based on these results, we feel that all type 1 diabetics with kidney failure should be considered for simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation," comments Dr. Christian Morath of the University of Heidelberg, Germany.
Dr. Morath and colleagues analyzed the long-term outcomes of more than 11,000 patients with type 1 diabetes and ESRD who received a kidney transplant between 1984 and 2000. About 3,500 patients underwent simultaneous transplantation of the pancreas and kidney from a deceased donor. The remaining patients received a kidney only, from either a living or deceased donor.
Patient survival and survival of the transplanted kidney were evaluated after up to 18 years of follow-up. The goal was to see how adding pancreas transplantation to kidney transplantation affected the long-term outcomes.
Both patient and kidney survival were better for patients undergoing pancreas-kidney transplant or living-donor kidney transplant, compared to deceased-donor kidney transplant. At first, kidney survival rates were best for patients who received living-donor kidney transplants. However, by the end of the follow-up period, kidney survival rates were essentially the same for the pancreas-kidney and living-donor kidney groups.
When adjusted for other factors, patients receiving simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants had better long-term survival. Beyond 10 years, the risk of death was 45 percent lower in the pancreas-kidney group than in the living-donor kidney group. The gain in survival with pancreas-kidney transplantation largely reflected a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease: 37 percent, compared with 46 to 49 percent in patients receiving kidney transplants only.
For all groups, survival rates were better for patients transplanted after 1990. This finding reflected advances in transplantation surgery and anti-rejection therapy.
"Our study shows that a functioning pancreas has a benefit for the simultaneously transplanted kidney," says Dr. Morath. "At the same time, this procedure prolongs the survival of the patient, compared to a patient who received only a kidney transplant."
The improvement in survival appears to result from a lower rate of cardiovascular deaths in patients undergoing pancreas-kidney transplantation. "The reduced cardiovascular mortality is most likely due to the normoglycemia [normal blood sugar levels] in patients who received a combined transplant," adds Dr. Morath. "The results show an interaction of different and independent organs—kidney, pancreas, and heart—with respect to survival of the patient."
Given the long-term improvement in survival, combined pancreas-kidney transplantation should be considered in every patient with type 1 diabetes and ESRD. Dr. Morath and colleagues believe. "In addition, research should focus on methods which are able to normalize blood glucose [sugar] levels in type 1 diabetic patients, such as islet cell transplantation."

It isn't your imagination. March snowfall really was extraordinary. In fact, the snowfall received in the Lake Almanor Basin during March 2011 easily broke the old record for the month.
The monitoring site on the West Shore recorded a total of 131 inches of snowfall during March, which is now the new record for the month. That's just an inch shy of 11 feet of snow, most of which arrived during the nine-day period March 18 – 26.

LONDON (AP) American teenager Missy Franklin set a world record in the 200 backstroke Friday for her third gold and fourth medal overall at the London Olympics.
Franklin clocked 2 minutes, 4.06 seconds, 0.75 quicker than the mark set by Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe at the 2009 world championships in Rome in a now-banned bodysuit.
It was the seventh world record of the games.
Anastasia Zueva of Russia touched in 2:05.92 to take the silver medal and Elizabeth Beisel of the United States finished in 2:06.55 to take bronze.
American 15-year-old Katie Ledecky won the 800-meter freestyle at the London Olympics on Friday.
The youngest member of the U.S. swim team narrowly missed a world record in the grueling race, falling off pace on the last lap and finishing in 8 minutes, 14.63 seconds.
Mireia Belmonte Garcia of Spain touched in 8:18.76 to take the silver medal and defending champion Rebecca Adlington of host Britain finished in 8:20.32 for bronze.
Adlington set the world record of 8:14.10 at the 2008 Beijing Games.

I bought this cab primarily because of the 4 ohm impedance. It allowed me to use it with both my Rumble 350 head and my 69 Bassman head. It does wonderful things for the 69 Bassman. The cabs built back in those days were never really made for bass and this cab breaths new life into that amp. It's a little heavy (76 lbs) but has wheels so that makes it somewhat easy to work with.

I went out looking for a nice 115 cab to match to my Rumble 350 head and ended up loving this in the Sam Ash store that I was shopping in. It's a heavy cab. 75 lbs. The Casters are a must for me. I roll her in and out of rooms and use her wherever I want. I don't really dig the handles. I find it clumsy trying to get my fingers to pull the handles out to carry it but it's not nearly impossible. Tone wise? It's a monster. I love the tone I get out of her. Nice deep broad sounding. Punchy and thick. Loud enough for any bar or party room that I'm playing in. I think at $299 it's a great value.

What are colon polyps?
A colon polyp is a growth on the surface of the colon, also called the large intestine. Sometimes, a person can have more than one colon polyp. Colon polyps can be raised or flat.
The large intestine is the long, hollow tube at the end of your digestive tract. The large intestine absorbs water from stool and changes it from a liquid to a solid. Stool is the waste that passes through the rectum and anus as a bowel movement.
Are colon polyps cancerous?
Some colon polyps are benign, which means they are not cancer. But some types of polyps may already be cancer or can become cancer. Flat polyps can be smaller and harder to see and are more likely to be cancer than raised polyps. Polyps can usually be removed during colonoscopy—the test used to check for colon polyps.
Who gets colon polyps?
Anyone can get colon polyps, but certain people are more likely to get them than others. You may have a greater chance of getting polyps if
- you're 50 years of age or older
- you've had polyps before
- someone in your family has had polyps
- someone in your family has had cancer of the large intestine, also called colon cancer
- you've had uterine or ovarian cancer before age 50
You may also be more likely to get colon polyps if you
- eat a lot of fatty foods
- smoke
- drink alcohol
- don't exercise
- weigh too much
What are the symptoms of colon polyps?
Most people with colon polyps do not have symptoms. Often, people don't know they have one until the doctor finds it during a regular checkup or while testing for something else.
But some people do have symptoms, such as
- bleeding from the anus. The anus is the opening at the end of the digestive tract where stool leaves the body. You might notice blood on your underwear or on toilet paper after you've had a bowel movement.
- constipation or diarrhea that lasts more than a week.
- blood in the stool. Blood can make stool look black, or it can show up as red streaks in the stool.
If you have any of these symptoms, see a doctor to find out what the problem is.
How does the doctor test for colon polyps?
The doctor can use one or more tests to check for colon polyps.
Barium enema. The doctor puts a liquid called barium into your rectum before taking x rays of your large intestine. Barium makes your intestine look white in the pictures. Polyps are dark, so they're easy to see.
Sigmoidoscopy. With this test, the doctor puts a thin, flexible tube into your rectum. The tube is called a sigmoidoscope, and it has a light in it. The doctor uses the sigmoidoscope to look at the last third of your large intestine.
Colonoscopy. The doctor will give you medicine to sedate you during the colonoscopy. This test is like the sigmoidoscopy, but the doctor looks at the entire large intestine with a long, flexible tube with a camera that shows images on a TV screen. The tube has a tool that can remove polyps. The doctor usually removes polyps during colonoscopy.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan. With this test, also called virtual colonoscopy, the doctor puts a thin, flexible tube into your rectum. A machine using x rays and computers creates pictures of the large intestine that can be seen on a screen.
The CT scan takes less time than a colonoscopy because polyps are not removed during the test. If the CT scan shows polyps, you will need a colonoscopy so they can be removed.
Stool test. The doctor will ask you to bring a stool sample in a special cup. The stool is tested in the laboratory for signs of cancer, such as DNA changes or blood.
Who should get tested for colon polyps?
Talk with your doctor about getting tested for colon polyps if you're 50 years of age or older, or earlier if you have symptoms or someone in your family has had polyps or colon cancer.
How are colon polyps treated?
In most cases, the doctor removes colon polyps during sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. The polyps are then tested for cancer.
If you've had colon polyps, the doctor will want you to get tested regularly in the future.
How can I prevent colon polyps?
Doctors don't know of one sure way to prevent colon polyps. But you might be able to lower your risk of getting them if you
- eat more fruits and vegetables and less fatty food
- don't smoke
- avoid alcohol
- exercise most days of the week
- lose weight if you're overweight
Eating more calcium may also lower your risk of getting polyps. Some foods that are rich in calcium are milk, cheese, yogurt, and broccoli.
Taking a low dose of aspirin every day might help prevent polyps. Talk with your doctor before starting any medication.
Points to Remember
- A colon polyp is a growth on the surface of the colon, also called the large intestine.
- Colon polyps can be raised or flat.
- Some colon polyps are benign, which means they are not cancer.
- Some types of polyps may already be cancer or can become cancer. Flat polyps can be smaller and harder to see and are more likely to be cancer than raised polyps.
- Most people with colon polyps do not have symptoms.
- Symptoms may include constipation or diarrhea for more than a week or blood on your underwear, on toilet paper, or in your stool.
- Doctors remove most colon polyps and test them for cancer.
- Talk with your doctor about getting tested for colon polyps if you're 50 years of age or older, or earlier if you have symptoms or someone in your family has had polyps or colon cancer.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases' Division of Digestive Diseases and Nutrition supports research into digestive conditions, including colon polyps. Researchers are studying why some people are more likely to get colon polyps than others. Researchers are also studying new tests and treatments to lower the risk of colon cancer in people with colon polyps.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

There's a lot of optimism for the 2013-2014 season surrounding the basketball teams at Salem, and both squads got off to a great start Saturday as the girl's blew out Meadowcreek and the boy's won a thriller in overtime.
The girl's, who are trying to get back to the state playoffs for the third consecutive season, got 25 points and 14 rebounds from Ayanna Mitchell in a 79-34 victory in the opener. Mitchell, an unsigned junior who is expected to have her choice of Division I schools to attend, wasn't alone on opening night. Fellow junior Shay Tarver added 14 points and seven assists, while seniors Taylor King added 11 points and Jennifer Tindi chipped in with eight points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots.
Salem, which led 43-20 at halftime and 65-26 after three quarters, wasn't perfect as the team made just 23-of-40 free throws (58 percent) and had 23 turnovers.
The nightcap was much closer and Salem edged the Mustangs, a state second round team in Class AAAAAA a year ago, 88-84 in double-overtime.
The Seminoles trailed for much of the game, but thanks to 25 points from Austin Samuel and 23 out of Kristopher Bridgeman, pulled out the season-opening victory.
"It was a total team effort, we showed a lot of (resiliency)," said Salem coach Noah Harrell, whose team is hoping to reach the state playoffs for a school-record fourth consecutive season. "We were down just about the entire game but hung touch and were able to come out on top. I'm really proud of our guys and it's a good start to our season."
The Salem girls will play Fayette County at Norcross High School Tuesday at 6:00 p.m., while both teams visit Newton Friday starting at 7:00 p.m.

Aggies prepare for "Friday Night Lights" scrimmage
Published: Thursday, April 19, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 20:07
The Texas A&M Football Team wrapped up their 10th practice of the spring Wednesday afternoon. This will be there last practice before the "Friday Night Lights" scrimmage on Friday at Kyle Field.
"If you're not fired up for that one, what can you get fired up for?" linebackers Coach Matt Wallerstedt said. "I think they're anxious to showcase our second really big scrimmage in front of the fans. Things are going in the right direction and we're looking for big things Friday night."
Freshman safety Howard Matthews said he, too, was excited for the scrimmage on Friday.
"It's been awhile since I played under some lights, it's gonna be a lot of fun," Matthews said. "There will be kind of a game type feeling, atmosphere. We just need to go out there execute, have fun, hit some guys, and do our job. We're gonna be fine."
Sophomore defensive lineman Damontre Moore said the scrimmage should be a lot of fun.
"I'm really excited," Moore said. "I haven't had a night game in a long time and Coach Snider tells us to treat every scrimmage like a game. There's gonna be a lot of people, we're just really excited to see what it's gonna be like."
Recruits will be able to attend the scrimmage, a highlight the coaches hope will encourage the recruits to eventually come and play at A&M.
"Recruiting is the future of this program, we've got to get big players in here," Wallerstedt said. "We're building for the future and hopefully we can get some of these guys to jump on board with us."
The team continues to transition in every practice to where they want to be for the first game under head coach Kevin Sumlin.One of the biggest transitions will be on the offensive side of the ball and replacing former quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
"I think we're gaining strides every day, getting better," junior offensive lineman Jake Matthews said. "We have to keep pushing it and if we do that, we're gonna be successful."
Wallerstedt, who has been a defensive coordinator most recently at Air Force, said he is looking forward to returning A&M to its former "Linebacker U of the South" status, famous for the Linebackers they produce, much like Penn State, the one and only "Linebacker U."
"When you're a coach, there are a few schools that you if get the opportunity to come to, you would jump at. This is one of them for me," Wallerstedt said. "I know how this place can be on game day," Wallerstedt said of his experiences as an All American at Kansas State "and that's exciting for everybody. They say the press box sways, and it does sway. That's pretty awesome."
Wallerstedt added that the opportunity to coach the linebackers and help bring back "something special" to A&M is exciting.
"Friday Night Lights" will take place at 8 p.m. this Friday night at Kyle Field and is open to the public.

Motorists urged to take care
9:30am Sunday 29th December 2013 in News
MOTORISTS are being urged to take care and exercise caution when out and about on the roads.
A number of flood alerts have been issued by the Environment Agency, and the Met Office have issued a yellow warning of wind across the West Midlands and are advising the public to be aware of potential disruption.
The Safer Roads Partnership in Warwickshire and West Mercia is advising motorists to take extra care on the roads and be aware of surface water, spray from other vehicles, potential flooding and disruption to travel.
With strong winds across the area, motorists should also be aware that there may be fallen branches, trees and debris on the roads in some areas.
If water has flooded across a section of road it may be difficult to tell exactly how deep it is.
If anyone does come across a road that is flooded they are being advised not to attempt to drive through the flood water.
Visibility can also be seriously reduced in heavy rain so headlights must be used, together with allowing a bigger gap between cars to allow for the increased stopping distance.
Anna Higgins, from the Safer Roads Partnership, said: "We are urging all motorists to exercise caution in adverse weather conditions, use common sense and follow our simple advice."

Home » Key Features of Wing IDE »
"Wing is far and away the best IDE I've ever used and I'm looking forward to exploring the new features of version 5" -- Kevin Kesseler, PhD, Dec 2013
The feature highlights of Wing IDE Pro version 5 are:
- Wing Runs Native on OS X and looks and runs better on Windows and Linux too.
- A Redesigned UI that fixes many quirks in Wing 4. Editors and tools can be dragged and dropped to other splits, to a new split, or to new windows. The toolbar and context menus in the editor and Project tool are now configurable. Preferences and some menus have been reorganized for clarity.
- New Editor Split Mode supports opening different sets of files in each editor split. This mode is disabled by default but can be enabled by unchecking Show All Files in All Splits in the options drop down in the top right of the editor.
- Sharable Color Palettes can be made for the GUI as a whole and for syntax highlighting individual file types. This is documented in the Customization chapter of the manual.
- Auto-Editing is enabled by default, except for a few operations that may be confusing to new users. Be sure to try also auto-entering spaces, PEP8 spacing, and block management with repeated presses of the colon key. These can be configured from the Edit > Keyboard Personality menu.
- Python Turbo Auto-Completion enables super-fast typing by turning any non-symbol key into a completion key whenever the selected completion is likely to be valid. This feature can be enabled with the Editor > Auto-completion > Python Turbo Mode preference and is documented in Editor > Auto-completion in the manual.
- Named File Sets can be created and visited from the File menu, the Open Files tool, or used for searching in Search in Files.
- Sharable Launch Configurations defined in the Project menu provide more flexible management of the environment used for sub-processes when debugging, unit testing, or in the OS Commands tool.
- Named Entry Points can be defined in the Debug menu to more easily debug or execute the same code with different arguments or environment.
- Unit Test Environment can now be configured independently from debug environment in the Testing tab of Project Properties and File Properties.
- Locking Editor Splits by clicking on the stick pin icon in top right of the editor will dedicate the split to a particular file, so it is not reused for other files. A second click changes the editor to non-sticky (auto-closing) mode, and a third click returns it back to sticky mode.
- Startup Preferences Dialog is shown for new installations where no Wing 4.x preferences are converted, making it easier for new users to configure keyboard personality and auto-editing. commonly altered preferences.
- Expanded and Rewritten Tutorial covers more of the IDE's feature set.
- Support for Python 3.4 has been added, along with other minor features like improved printing, asynchronous I/O in the Python Shell and Debug Probe, Open in Explorer/Finder in the Project context menu, and improved Diff/Merge tool.
- Improved Source Assistant adds rendering of PEP 287 docstrings, shows return value type, and improves overall content and formatting
- Improved Documentation Viewer provides cleaner rendering of Wing's integrated documentation.
Not all of these features are available in Wing IDE Personal and Wing IDE 101. See the feature matrix for details. The Change Log on the downloads page contains detailed list of all changes.
Compatibility Notes
The following details may be useful to users of earlier versions of Wing IDE:
- Wing 5 installs side by side with Wing 4, so there is no need to remove Wing 4 in order to try Wing 5.
- Wing 5 will read and convert Wing 4 preferences, settings, and projects. Projects should be saved to a new name for use with Wing 5 since they cannot be read by Wing 4
- Auto-editing is on by default except for auto-entering spaces and block management with repeated presses of the colon key
- Preferences and some menus have been reorganized
- File Sets from Wing IDE 4 are now called File Filters. File Sets in Wing 5 are a new feature for creating named sets of files.
- File Properties have changed to make use of Launch Configurations
- OS Commands has been redesigned to use Launch Configurations and Named Entry Points
- The Python Shell starts with current directory set according to the project or main debug file configuration
- A few key bindings have changed
- Accelerators may have changed from Wing 4 and are no longer available on OS X because Qt follows Mac user interface guidelines, except when the Display Style preference is used to select non-native display
- More project data is stored in the shared branch of two-file projects (Python Path, OS Commands)
- Support for Python <= 2.2 has been dropped on Windows and support for Python <= 2.5 has been dropped on OS X
- New projects created with Wing Pro are always Shared (Two File) projects
- For other compatibility details, see the Changes sections of the Change Log on the downloads page.

• 2009 MPSF Coach of the Year
The 2014 season is former Triton player Kevin Ring's ninth as head coach of the UC San Diego men's volleyball program.
The 2013 Tritons posted a program-best fourth-place finish at the annual UC Santa Barbara Asics Invitational, were the first to achieve a season sweep of USC, the 2012 national runner-up, and had an all-time high of seven MPSF All-Academic honorees.
Ring's 2012 squad finished with a 9-19 overall record and placed ninth in the ultra-competitive Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) with a 6-16 mark, narrowly missing a berth in the eight-team league tournament. UCSD recorded upsets over No. 3 UCLA, No. 9 Long Beach State, No. 11 Hawai'i, No. 12 UC Santa Barbara and No. 13 Cal State Northridge. The team strung together an unprecedented five-match win streak in league play, three of those victories coming on the road. For the second straight year, the Tritons climbed to as high as No. 11 in the AVCA national poll.
Outside hitter Carl Eberts and libero Chase Frishman earned All-MPSF honorable mention. Outside hitter Vaun Lennon was tabbed the AVCA National Player of the Week in early April, becoming the third Triton to garner that distinction in the history of the program. Additionally, six players were named MPSF All-Academic in 2012.
UCSD finished with five MPSF wins in 2011, producing upsets at defending national champion and fourth-ranked Stanford, at No. 5 UCLA, at No. 7 UC Irvine, at No. 11 Pepperdine and at home against No. 11 Hawai'i. The sweep at Stanford marked not only the Tritons' first-ever triumph at Maples Pavilion, but also snapped an 18-match home win streak for the Cardinal.
On March 24, 2011, UCSD hosted third-ranked Ohio State and took a four-set victory over the Buckeyes, who went on to win the national championship.
Senior setter Phil Bannan was an All-MPSF Second Team selection after becoming UCSD's all-time leader in assists and service aces. Ring also graduated middle blocker Calvin Ross, who took over as the school's career leader in blocks. Four Tritons were named MPSF All-Academic in 2011.
In 2010, the Tritons were ranked in the top-15 nationally throughout and collected six conference wins for the campaign, including two each over UCLA and Pepperdine. Bannan picked up All-MPSF honorable mention for the second straight year.
Ring led the 2009 squad to the most successful season in program history. The Tritons won a Division II-best 13 matches and nearly qualified for the MPSF Tournament, being eliminated during the final weekend of conference play. UCSD defeated several ranked teams, including a win over UCLA for the second consecutive season. The Tritons finished the year ranked No. 11 in the country and Ring was named MPSF Coach of the Year.
While maintaining a high level of success on the court and in the classroom, Ring and his players have kept a clear focus on giving back to the community. For the past several years, the Tritons have held regular volleyball clinics with Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County.
Before being elevated to the head-coaching position on June 15, 2005, Ring spent the previous nine years as an assistant for the UCSD men's squad. He served as the top assistant for Duncan McFarland in 1997 and 1998, for Jon Stevenson in 1999 and for Ron Larsen between 2000-05. Ring helped guide the Tritons to an NCAA Division III national championship in 2000.
In addition to his duties with UCSD men's volleyball, Ring was an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of San Diego. He also served as an assistant coach for the Torero women's volleyball team in 2004-05.
Ring got his start at UCSD as the men's volleyball team manager from 1989-91 before playing for the Tritons for three seasons.
Ring was the full-time manager for the USA men's national team from 1991-93 and continued on as a technical advisor through 1996. He accompanied Team USA to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The 1992 squad left Spain with a bronze medal.
To this day, Ring maintains strong ties to USA Volleyball, as he has been aiding women's national team head coach Karch Kiraly and his staff in preparing Team USA for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
Ring earned two degrees from UCSD, graduating with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1996, followed by a master's in chemistry in 1998. A California native, he grew up in Oregon and played prep volleyball at Sheldon High School in Eugene.
Ring and his wife, Nicole, reside in La Jolla, and are expecting their first child this summer.

Raleigh >Food & Dining > Seaboard Cafe
707 Semart Dr, Raleigh, NC | Directions 2760435.790856 -78.640582
Mon-Sat: 11am-2:30am
Neighborhoods: Central
My favorite lunch spot in Raleigh – This is my favorite place to have lunch in Raleigh...although I can't stop calling it 'Logan's'. The food is great, the owner always greets customers with a smile on his face, and I get to shop while I wait for the husband or friends to show up. If you go, try the chicken salad on a croissant. If you're a burger person, my husband says they're the best in town.
Best Lunch Spot in Raleigh – Seaboard Cafe is my favorite lunch spot in Raleigh, hands down! Their speciality chicken salads are amazing! I usually check their website daily for specials to determine if I need to make a dash to pick something up. If you have time to dine in, the atmosphere is great as it is tucked inside the middle of Logan's nursery. Also, the owner is always super nice as is the staff!
Best burger in Raleigh – my wife and I agree that the bacon swiss burger is absolutely the best burger in town ... and the waffle fries are great too ...
Excellent sandwiches – This place has the best potato salad I have found in town. It is also very pleasant to eat among the plants of the nursery next to the cafe. However, its prices are a little high, and it's annoying that it closes so early when the nursery is still open.
Best lunch around! – I can't count the number of years that I have been going here for lunches with friends and family. There are wonderful fresh salads with the best grilled chicken. The kids LOVE the burgers and the soups and chili are always creative and fresh. The cranberry walnut cookies and pumpkin & cranberry muffins are SOOOOOO good. This is such a hidden treasure in Raleigh - located in the back of Logan's Trading Company in the Seaboard Shops. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and the atmosphere is like your outdoor patio. Kids are welcome and lots to choose from for them on the menu. Watching your weight - not a problem here with the choice of salads and light sandwiches. I've even taken student groups here and they loved it . AND now they do catering and box lunches too. The prices are great too - especially for the quality of the food.
A sunny haven in Seaboard Station caters to the bustling lunch crowd. – In Short
There are a few key elements that add up to a perfect lunch spot: good service, a friendly atmosphere with lots of windows, and a menu featuring so many options that you could swing by daily and not get tired of the same old sandwich. This busy cafe, located in Logan Trading Company, fits the bill just fine--which is why Raleigh's downtown lunch crowd flocks here for veggie sandwiches on sunflower bread and fresh muffins.
a welcome oasis – Though we now live out of town, every time we go back, we make a point to stop in at our favorite lunch stop- The Seaboard Cafe. Always wonderful food, excellent service and some of the best people-watching available, all served in an oasis of open air, verdant greenery and garden delights. Stop in here to recharge your battery after a hectic work week, you 'll always leave satisfied and refreshed.
Best hidden cafe in Raleigh – Seaboard Cafe is well known only to the Raleigh gardeners. It is well hidden in the Logan Trading Company, which is a must see place on its own.
The food is excellent and always fresh. The hamburgers are huge and juicy, and serverd in the best outdoor seating in Raleigh.

Allosteric Regulation of PKM2 Allows Cellular Adaptation to Different Physiological States

Abstract: Pyruvate kinase isoform M2 (PKM2) activity is subject to complex allosteric regulation. Recently, serine and SAICAR (succinylaminoimidazolecarboxamide ribose-5'-phosphate) were identified as previously unrecognized activators of PKM2. These findings add additional complexity to how PKM2 is regulated in cells and support the notion that modulating PKM2 activity enables cells to adapt their metabolic state to specific physiological contexts.

I heard someone or some sports commentator say recently (I can't remember who it was), "you really don't know your team until you see them compete in the playoffs."
After last week's sixth game loss that bounced the Denver Nuggets out of the playoffs, this quote was validated in more ways than one.
First, after seeing both the Golden State Warriors and the Nuggets play during the regular season, it seemed to me Denver went into the playoffs the better team. It just didn't seem like Golden State would be the team to beat the Nuggets.
To Golden State's credit, they were able to catch fire and drill threes seemingly at will. We all hoped they would die by the three, and instead they lived by the three. Defensively, Golden State was able to do what most teams during the regular season couldn't do, and that's keep Denver from scoring inside the paint. They took the Denver Nuggets out of their game.
Golden State seemed like a soft team in the regular season. In the first round of the playoffs, they took Denver to school and proved they are damn good. Man, do I hate them.
For us Denver fans, we thought we knew our team. That was, until, we met the Golden State Warriors. We thought Denver was a team that would run, run, and then outrun any opponent by scoring a majority of our baskets in the paint. It worked to garner a total of 57 wins in the regular season.
During the regular season, it was the Denver Nuggets that wore teams out. A fast-paced offense, combined with the Mile High City altitude, would work in our favor. What we learned, in such a harsh way, is that Denver's game plan didn't work for the playoffs. We lacked adjustment options. Injuries were a factor. Missing all-too important buckets were a factor. The playoffs proved that Denver is still a young team and not quite ready to take that next step toward the NBA Finals. It was a reality that is hard for all of us to swallow.
"It was heavy, still heavy," Nuggets coach George Karl told The Denver Post. "I don't think any of us expected it to end this way." I'm highly disappointed it did. The fact of where this team came, 57 wins, I think is a big step forward. But no one likes to hear that in the middle of the playoffs… "We made a big step this year, but it wasn't validated by a playoff win."
Of course, because the Nuggets' first round playoff loss was such a disappointment, the finger pointing, as expected, has started. I remember hearing one announcer say during that last game that Denver fans are going to be so mad, if they lose this playoff series, Karl almost certainly won't have a job coaching for the Nuggets next year.
Did coach Karl get outcoached in that series? Perhaps. Could he have adjusted Denver's game plan during the series? Probably. Was it a disappointing loss? Yes. Does it suck not making it to the Finals every year? Yes.
Does Karl have an extremely young team with no superstars? Absolutely. Anyone who says George Karl should pack his bags and leave is crazy. Yes, he may be stubborn in his ways but that is the way Karl is and that is the way he coaches. One of the sports columnists at the Denver Post basically said if the Nuggets ownership doesn't have the guts to fire Karl, George Karl himself should know better and step down.
Personally, I think that's ludicrous. George Karl is even hungrier now to win a championship with this team. We fans would absolutely love it, of course, but I know Karl wants it more. He's put in his time. He's a brilliant coach. He deserves a championship. And he's close to achieving it with a team that has no superstars and plays with pure energy.
Frankly, we should all be grateful he still wants to coach and has the energy to coach after beating cancer. As far as I am concerned, we Denver fans should be lucky enough to have Karl come back next year to coach this team.
If I were to put this playoff series in a nutshell, Denver got the absolute worst matchup for a first-round playoff. Kenneth Faried's injury slowed him down in the first few games of the series and Denver really missed the shooting capabilities of Danilo Gallinari. He was a scoring option Karl didn't have in his pocket when the Warriors decided to protect the paint.
It was a disappointing loss, and the amount of tequila I drank that night was not enough to ease my pain. But when I look at this last season of Nuggets basketball, it was one that brought me more enjoyment than any other Nuggets season I can remember in my 33 years of living and breathing. Never in my life have I constantly checked the schedule to see if there was a Nuggets game on, day in and day out. Before, I generally watched the playoffs only. Now, I want a Nuggets game on every night of the week. I think George Karl has a lot to do with that, and despite the playoff loss, the Nuggets ownership should keep that in mind.
The Nuggets need to take this year's 57-win success and continue it. Denver needs to keep hold of its core players while finding just one more outside shooter. One of these years, Denver is going to win the Finals. I just know it.

I love my bank. I love the fact that I have ATMs all over the world. I enjoy that my mortgage, checking, savings and even my daughter's account are all manageable within their easy-to-use online portal. I love the fact that I know my branch manager and favorite tellers by name. I love Bank of America.
However, like any close friend, they've done things that have disappointed me in the past: check-clearing paths that haven't crossed in my favor and little fees charged for just moving my money around between accounts online. Luckily, the complaint department has now bestowed upon me some sort of exemption from future transaction fees. I guess the squeaky wheel finally got the grease.
There are two recent instances, though, where my neighborly bank may have pushed our financial relationship a little too far. The first was the federal bailout. While I'm glad the bank that's digested my life savings didn't go belly-up, I am still a little confused as to why my taxes were used to bail out an institution thought to be in a business model that can't lose (especially on a global scale). I guess that's where the greed of lending $300,000 mortgages to $40,000-a-year middle-management slackers comes into play.
Speaking of greed, without so much as a "thank you" for saving their business from ruin just two years ago, Bank of America recently proposed charging the very customers who stuck by them during those trying times $5 a month just for the convenience of using their debit card. Wow. Really!?!
As a marketing and public-relations professional from way back, I am still scratching my head over the sheer ignorance of such a proposition. First of all, as a BOA customer, I've spent the last couple of years listening to my teller inform me of all the great banking business their ATMs are capable of transacting as I'm pushed out the door to the one in the foyer. They're trying to reduce manpower and encourage anytime banking, I'm told.
Secondly, don't the BOA yahoos in Charlotte read the newspapers? There's a bunch of people currently camped out on New York's Wall Street (and Main Streets everywhere) protesting the lack of gratefulness these and other fat cats have yet to express from the taxpayer bailout as they still refuse to grant us loans. Seems they're scared to lose whatever principal might've generated a measly 4 percent return. That should have been the number-one stipulation of the federal bailout—come up off your wallets and we'll save your ass.
Last week, BOA finally caved. "We have listened to our customers very closely over the last few weeks and recognize their concern with our proposed debit usage fee," said David Darnell, Bank of America's co-chief operating officer. "Our customers' voices are most important to us. As a result, we are not currently charging the fee and will not be moving forward with any additional plans to do so."
What a crock. He's no more listened to his customers over the past few weeks than I've listened to Barry Manilow—ever. All he had to do was flip on the evening news. Hell, all he had to do was hang out in the lobby branch of their corporate headquarters for 15 minutes and ask everyone in the ATM line what they thought of the proposition. Charge me money to withdrawal my money from my bank? I'd ask him the closest place to buy Mason jars.
No, what he and other banks were listening to was the competition first and foremost. When J.P. Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo nationally, and SunTrust, First Tennessee and others regionally, decided not to charge the fee, BOA followed suit. And why did everyone back down?

NEW YORK -- Peyton Manning is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history in the midst of one of the greatest seasons in NFL history. But that's not enough for the media at Super Bowl XLVIII. They can't wait to anoint Manning the greatest quarterback ever.
In fact, one national writer already has, saying, win or lose, he's the best there ever was; while another -- a local columnist -- insists a Super Bowl victory Sunday makes Manning the best, hands down.
OK, so that's their opinion, it's a free country and all that. Just one question: Why? Why are we in such a rush to canonize a quarterback who doesn't have a winning playoff record?
That's not a knock on Manning. The guy's a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and he just produced one of the greatest statistical seasons in pro football. But the best quarterback ever? Please.
He's not even the best quarterback of his generation. Tom Brady is. Nor is he the best quarterback of the two franchises he played with ... not yet, anyway. John Unitas and John Elway are. He doesn't have as many Super Bowl rings as little brother Eli, and he might hold the league record for postseason one-and-dones at eight.
Bottom line: Numero uno he's not.
Yet reporters and columnists this week are lining up to proclaim him "the greatest." Sorry, but I don't get it.
"Because he's the most recent," said former coach Brian Billick, now an analyst with Fox. "Not to say he's not in the conversation, but he has all the numbers and all the pre-requisite boxes checked. Now, if you say, 'He's 'one of the greatest ever,' you have a legitimate argument. But is he the best? I don't know."
I do.
And he's not.
Not yet, anyway, and the career's not over. But why would you take Manning over, say, a Joe Montana when Montana was 16-7 in the playoffs and 4-0 in Super Bowls, with ... get this ... 11 touchdowns and no interceptions? Or why would you take him over Otto Graham, who went to 10 straight championship games (five with the All-America Football Conference) and won seven? And why would you take him over Brady, who's 18-8 in the playoffs, including five Super Bowl appearances, and 10-5 vs. Manning? Or Elway, who was 14-8 in the playoffs, with five Super Bowl appearances?
I don't know, either, but look around, people. It's happening. Crowds can't wait to stampede the bandwagon.
"It's probably because of the body of work," said Denver quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp, in camp with the 49ers when Montana was still around. "He played at a very high level for a lot of years, so he probably earned the right to be in that conversation.
"But it's very difficult in any sport to compare two different eras. In all fairness, Joe didn't play when they had all these exotic defenses. But in his defense he didn't play when they were running all these different formations and going no-huddle, too."
That makes sense. What doesn't is to send Manning to the head of the class, and not because he isn't qualified. Heck, the guy's won a league-record four MVPs and is a cinch to win his fifth. He's also in his third Super Bowl, putting him in rarified air.
Nope, it's more basic than that. It's because others are more deserving. Period. Of course, that doesn't matter to Manning cheerleaders, and I have some ideas why.
1. Manning is Everyman. We don't just believe he belongs to us; we believe he IS us. He makes pizzas. He drives Buicks. He yells "Cut that Meat!" to a butcher, rejoices when he's low-fived by accountants going to work and hams it up on national ads with brother Eli and father Archie. In short, he seems like an ordinary Joe where someone like Brady does not. I mean, Brady doesn't look like a male model; depending on the ad, he actually is one. He sells Uggs. He's married to the world's most famous female model. And he lives in a $20 million California mansion with a moat. I don't know where Manning lives, but I can guarantee one thing: It doesn't have a moat around it.
2. Manning is accessible and likeable. This cuts to those commercials. Once, he was the most visible NFL pitchman, with an uncanny sense of timing. Now, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers are pushing him. And Brady? Catch him at a mid-week or post-game news conference or don't catch him at all. Manning also seems to relish being the cutup, making fun of himself ... or Eli ... or his father ... or both ... in national commercials. Rewind that Football on Your Phone rap video that aired before the season, and tell me you weren't amused. Manning just seems like a good guy you want to root for, and when I listen to Gil Brandt, former Dallas executive and now an analyst for NFL.com, I understand why.
Brandt recalled when he was involved with the Playboy All-America shoot years ago, and Manning was there. The event lasted several days during which, Brandt said, players exchanged jerseys, helmets, gloves, you name it. When it came time to go home, Manning was approached by a hotel maid, asking if he had anything he could give her. He shook his head.
"Sorry," he said.
Then he thought of something.
"Would you want these?" he said, pointing to his shoes.
"So he took them off and gave them to her," Brandt said. "That's the kind of guy he is. I have great admiration for him and his family."
3. He comes from pro football royalty. I know this sounds incongruous after talking about Manning as the people's choice, but he comes from a line of quarterbacks who are among the game's most successful and most admired. There's father Archie, a legend at Ole Miss. There's brother Eli, who twice beat Brady in Super Bowls. Then there's Peyton. It's hard not to root for a family as likeable as the Mannings, and, sorry, San Diego.
4. He's to NFL regular-season records what McDonald's is to burgers. Both make billions. Manning didn't just break Brady's single-season TD mark this year; he obliterated it, throwing for more scores (55) than any other TEAM produced. Honest. And his offense was right there with him, becoming the first 600-point team ever. Now look at his career resume, and you find a passel of records that includes everything from most MVP awards to most regular-season games with at least 300 yards passing (84). When Manning is finished, he should own virtually every career passing record, breaking those held now by Brett Favre.
"He's the greatest regular-season quarterback of all time," said Brandt, "and I don't think you can argue that. He's the Greg Maddox of football."
But quarterbacks are measured by more than regular-season performances. They're measured by the playoffs and Super Bowl rings, too, and that's where Manning returns to earth. He's 11-11 in the postseason and 1-1 in Super Bowls where he has as many interceptions (2) as touchdowns and his passer rating is 85.4 -- a number that would've made him the 19th-ranked passer among this year's quarterbacks.
Yet we want to make him the best ever, and we want to do it now. Someone please explain.
"Well," said Billick, "if he wins this one that means he's won Super Bowls with two different teams, and that would close the gap. That would be his 'up yours' argument with Brady, with Manning saying, 'I did it with two separate teams."
And if he doesn't?
Don't ask. Never let the facts get in the way.

Christine Belt
Papillion, NE - United States
Christine Belt
Member Since: 09/01/2009
Artist Christine Belt
Many contemporary Southwestern artists are sources of inspiration to Christine Belt. One such Taos artist in particular, Malcolm Furlow, has motivated her to respond with a Midwestern flair. The response mirrors Nebraska's theme, 'The Good Life'. Belt is committed to engage people to 'vow to take back the good life'. Amidst the current storm in America, there's a message of hope in Christine's art. The hope is that man desires to embrace what is honest, pure, and fascinating.
Nebraska native and artist, Christine Belt, has felt a tug at her heart ever since she and her family first visited Taos, New Mexico. Every summer, as a child, Christine and her family would visit Taos where her grandparents built their home.
Christine was raised in Omaha until age ten. At that time, she and her family moved to the outskirts of Elkhorn and purchased a twenty unit motel (Dodge Motel) near Father Flanagan�s Boy�s Town. Being part of a family business running a motel was interesting; to say the least. She came to meet a variety of people. Those most intriguing to her were the jockeys and their families who came to the Omaha area for the famous Aksarben horse races.
During Christine�s formative years she lived in, and was exposed to, both urban and rural communities. Her memories from that experience are quite juxtaposed; running the gamut of remembering that the Hell�s Angels could be seen driving down her street in Omaha in contrast to riding bikes on the back roads to Elkhorn, surrounded by feedlots.
Christine�s very different exposures during those years more than likely can explain her artwork. Simply put, Contemporary Rural. She often portrays farm animals realistically in and of themselves, yet places them in a contradicting environment. The surrounding scenes of the animals in her paintings are stylized and expressive with color. One example of this can be seen in her acrylic painting titled �Home at the Farm�.
Christine�s many summers spent in New Mexico has also influenced her artistic style and helped to lay this unique foundation. The exposure to the rich culture, its turquoise laden landscape, and the art colonies have definitely made a mark on her creations.
Christine also enjoys creating in forms other than painting. Photography is another avenue in which she depicts her Midwest themes. Some of her subjects are of barns and stunning floras.
Christine continues to reside in Nebraska, frequently visits New Mexico, and connects two beautiful regions creatively in her art. Be sure to visit her websites to see her vision as an artist. Enjoy!

Despite the influx of great racing games early in its life, the PSP has recently suffered something of a draught when it comes to strong racers. Perhaps Sony saw this coming, because here they are with ATV Offroad Fury Pro, one of the best portable racing games to come out all year. It's a game jam packed with courses, multiplayer mode and extra content, the kind of game you can play for weeks without seeing and doing everything. It has a few technical problems, but if you're the type of person that has grown sick of Burnout Legend, WipEout Pure and Ridge Racer, then ATV Offroad Fury Pro should be your next purchase.
ATV Offroad Fury Pro is the follow up to 2005's ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Tails, and in true sequel fashion they decided to cram as much new stuff as they could into this small UMD. Trust me on this, ATV Offroad Fury Pro offers more content than any other portable racing game ever; there are an insane amount of tracks, game modes, multiplayer games, and mini-games. If you're the type of person who loves to get gold on ever track and unlock all the secrets, then you might as well bolt the door and cut all connection to the outside world, because you're going to be at it for months before you do and see everything.
Not that this is a bad thing, in a lot of ways the sheer amount of content works in the game's favor. It's going to take you a lot of races before you get tired of the different ways you can play the game, and even when you do get tired of it all you can jump over to the game's various mini-games and the excitement of the online mode. Make no mistake about it, this may be a portable game on a small PSP, but this little racer has more content than most console-sized games.
ATV Offroad Fury Pro doesn't deviate too much from the tried and true game play of other off road racers. This is a game where you will have the opportunity to drive all kinds of different vehicles against other off road vehicles. This means that you will be able to drive a motorcycle versus a truck, race a traditional ATV against a buggy and so on so forth. This game has something for all kinds of driving game fans, from those who love doing tricks and getting points to those who like the precision of a traditional vehicle.
The game comes with a staggering amount of different vehicles to race. While most of the tracks are geared towards ATVs and MX bikes, I found I had the most fun with some of the more obscure rides, like the snowmobile. The problem with having such a huge amount of vehicles is that they tend to all feel the same after awhile. Sure each vehicle has a few of its own quirks, but only the MX bikes feel radically different from the rest of the bunch. Thankfully this isn't much of a problem because you'll be far too busy actually racing the five dozen tracks. It wasn't until late in the game that I started to notice the problems with the vehicles, which is ultimately a minor problem that will hopefully be fixed when the inevitable sequel hits stores.
Along with a crazy amount of different vehicles, ATV Offroad Fury Pro also features a large amount of different types of races. You get the standard supercross, rally racing, freestyle, and a few others. These different race types end up making a huge difference to the way the game is played and the type of tracks you race on. Some of the game modes will have you racing a certain amount of times with a certain vehicle, while others will have you performing tricks and various tasks on a giant open course. Going through these different modes and experimenting with what you can and cannot do is half the fun of ATV Offroad Fury Pro.
As you win races and complete tasks you will earn credits that can be traded in to buy vehicle upgrades and even new rides. This is the type of thing we've seen done in plenty of other driving games, but ATV Offroad Fury Pro does a good job of constantly presenting items you want to earn. But there's a problem with the credit system, as you play through the game you will find that some vehicles give you more credits than others, making for a somewhat unbalanced money system. It's not an understatement to say that some vehicles will give you five times the credits, so one has to wonder if there's any reason left to actually play some of those other vehicles.
